Combining two SAP estates is one of the most expensive integration events in any acquisition. We quantify license exposure pre signing, model post close integration costs, and structure SAP carve out terms before they become unrecoverable. No SAP relationship, no diligence bias.
Whether you are buy side, sell side, or carving out a business unit, our SAP diligence work spans four pillars from pre signing exposure quantification through post close integration governance.
We quantify the SAP license exposure of the target, identify open audit risk, and surface contract clauses that trigger on change of control, ahead of definitive agreement.
We model the true cost of combining two SAP estates, including license consolidation, duplicate engine credit, and the timing of true up events post close.
We structure the SAP elements of a carve out agreement so that license rights, transition services, and ongoing maintenance are clearly defined, priced, and time bound.
We support the first eighteen months post close, when most SAP integration value is realized or lost, with renegotiation playbooks and consolidation roadmaps.
Whether you are pre LOI or post close, our diligence engagements follow the same five phases compressed to the deal timetable.
